Planting & Care

A thick, thorny deciduous hedge with a history of cultivation since the 1700s.
In spring, its dark green leaves are nearly hidden by a profusion of white blossoms.
Produces small, cherry-sized plums, ideal for making delicious jams, jellies, and liqueurs.
Provides excellent nectar for attracting bees and other pollinators to your garden.
The dense, thorny structure creates a perfect screening hedge and windbreak, traditionally used to protect orchards and attract nesting birds.
A hardy and resilient hedge that thrives in all soil types, including clay and chalk, and withstands windy, exposed locations.
Can grow up to 5m but is easily maintained at a height of 1-4m.

Species: Cherry
Features: Native to UK, Wildlife benefactor, Colourful berries & fruits
Flowering Season: Late spring
Flowering Time: March, April
Harvest Time: July, August, September
Flower Colour: Small white flowers in early spring
Position: Full sun
Habit: Bushy hedge
Hardiness: Fully hardy (H6: hardy in all of UK and northern Europe, -20 to -15°C)
Growth Rate: Average (20-40cm per year)
Eventual Spread: 8m+ unless pruned
Soil Type: Any well-drained, fertile soil
Pest & Disease: Good resistance, but may be affected by silver leaf, bacterial canker, blossom wilt, aphids, and caterpillars.
Pruning: Prune in winter

Planting Time: Plant when dormant, from October through to March.
Soil: Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers well-drained, loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage.
Pruning: Prune when dormant in the winter months, but check first for nesting birds. Lightly prune back any dead wood and branches, leaving the healthy stems. Over-pruning can leave the plant open to infection and encourage diseases such as silver leaf, bacterial canker and blossom wilt to take hold.
